Hi guys

Been a long hard year or so but finally getting back to modeling again.

Was wondering, is the old Airfix HO/OO scale models the same size as 1/72nd.

Have a few HO/OO kits and was wanting to use them for a dio I'm going to build.

Not an expert, but I'm under the impression that British HO railroads are 1/76 scale vs. American HO at 1/87. Thus the Airfix HO/OO would be 1/76, not 1/72.

Steve, Mark is right Airfix HO is 1/76, hence why all their vehicles are 1/76.
